TV Shows/Movies/Podcasts Mentioned:

  • Free Solo – This was as good as advertised. Watching him climb El Capitan made my palms sweaty and my stomach churn. Best documentary I’ve seen in a while. Try to find this on the National Geographic channel for free.
  • Triple Frontier – Ugh. Decent premise but not a great movie. Netflix still has some work to do on its movie offerings. Would not recommend to a friend. 3 out of 10.
  • Dual Threat with Ryen Russillo – Check out the first two back-up QB stories episodes. A very honest assessment of what went wrong in terms of talented QBs whose careers didn’t turn out how they wanted.
  • Apollo 11 – Michael liked this doc on the moon landing but said it was a little slow so give it some time.
